seriously, how much time is too much time on AF? It is almost addictive to connect to this many people and share thoughts and feelings at once. What are your comments about this?

No..not that. I really meant how much time do you spend a day "researching" on AF? you are a mod..and you (with all those post) prolly work for them. you dont count exactly. But everybody else...?

I have been summoned.
Usually I spend 8 hours a day wasting precious HP money (12$/hr) to clogg up the server. Actually I use to be much worse. Sometimes I can't sleep and I'm here after my end of shift (midnight)

:iagree: ... I'm here about 3-4 hrs a day. As long as I get my work done, the boss doesn't complain.

I surf on and off throughout the day. Probably a total of 2 hours at most.
You know you've spent too much time on a forum when you've either read every single thread or just continually read threads you've already read and have no new posts.

I get on usually for like 5 minutes really early in the morning, and then about 1 hour after school, and then like another 1/2 hour in the evening. I have 2 quick launch keys on my laptop set to this and a grand am forum that I frequent, so all I do is walk up, hit the 2 buttons, and I'm on.

AF is NOT wasting time. :)
Having said that, depends on workload. Sometimes 5+ hours @ work, sometimes less than 1.
Plus a couple hours here and there @ home.

Pshhh home page.... on my computer I never even close the window.
lol...
Well, while I was in SC I spent about 6-10 hours a day on here. Now I will just be spending spare time here and there. Like whenever Im stuck here, (until I get my own car) or until we leave the house to go party.
About what you said though, I think it is pretty addictive to talk to so many people about such a broad amount of things. You can't just walk up to a group of people because you overheard their conversation, and give them your input. That doesnt work in the real world, (not all the time), so its a good place to get to know the other people on our planet. I mean, hell, I sat around in SC for a month and a half, and now theres people all over the world who remember talking to me, and remember my name. Its definitely mind food. I consider 8 hours a day on here (outside of any type of work) is pretty much a lack of any kind of life, but even once I have a life, I will still want to come back and talk on here. Just not as much.
